Nifty has awarded us a number of GFM 6 month memberships to award to some lucky participants.

-... recipient to be announced! stay tuned!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So, the plan for most of us is to put the eggs in at NOON (Local time) on Saturday, December 11th, 2010.
Here is the web clock we all need to use to syncronize our computers
Atomic Clock it's close to within 2 seconds AND you will probably have to change the time zone, but it's easy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are using the clocks for our local time. When your first chick is completely out of the shell AFTER MIDNIGHT, *12:00:01AM on the 1st of January, 2011 you take a pic of it and then you go to your computer and take a pic of the time on the Atomic Clock I previously posted of the time where you are. We are setting at Noon our time in each time zone because there will be early hatchers... there always are one or two in a hatch that pop out early. We hope by starting at NOON that gives us a better chance of not having too many hatch on Friday the 31st thus putting them out of the 1st chick hatched contest. .

Our Aussie participants will be setting their eggs long before most of us!!... otherwise their eggs wouldn't hatch until late on the first or the second if they waited to set them till noon Arizona time.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

OK here is the lastest "Official list" if you don't see your name on it and you are a part of the NYD hatch PM me. If I put you on twice, PM me!

The way this thread is moving I am afraid to not check in on it as often as possible. It could take an hour to catch up this evening if I stopped checking now!

 

[Rathbone]

Amen! Just can't keep up with the sheer volume of posts. But isn't it fun?!

 

[dsqard]

Rathbone I can truely say this is going to be the most fun New Years I will have had in a long time! Don't know if that is a bad reflection on my life or a great reflection on BYC!

Me too! I am more of the sensible type that won't stay up to welcome the new year - I figure it is coming whether or not I greet it and choose to get some shut-eye. Chicks however - oh yes indeed I will stay up all night to greet.

 

[debilorrah]

Soooo, good morning.

 

[Raven1]

I have went back and browsed all the posts and saw alot of you and it is great to put faces to names so I thought I would put mine up.
This was taken back in the summer at a family gathering

So hi everybody

So nice to have you here!

My hova bator was preheated when the Sultans arrived early/ late whatever you want to call it. Too late for the Christmas hatch and too early for the New years hatch. Since they spent a week "In transit" I popped them in early, this action may prevent hatch withdrawal between Christmas and New Years!

Kinda like the feeling you get when you look around and realize that all the presents have been opened already...

I hope for arrivals today and tomorrow and even Saturday morning at the post office!

This thread is so much fun! It does move fast!

I will be incubating 9 bantam Araucanas, 12 E.E. mixes, 8 FBCM (the seller contacted me back!), 4 RIR and 12ish LF Araucanas that may be late, but are the high point of my year, so they are allowed to be late!
